Could have gone to far and got stuck, you should have a bar in the boot kit which has a square tip.

You can stick it in the back of the motor one closest the gearbox and rotate it, it will very slowly move the seat forward.

Also if you can strip down the button assembley, check the actual switch is making a good connection

It may start to work when you wind it forward a bit.

Otherwise, it's a case of checking for voltage on the connectors, and motor terminals.

If was mine, I would suspect 'Werther blockage' in the runner.

Mine did this once.  Sitting on the seat wiggling whilst massaging the buttons soon sorted it out.

Thanks Tunnie, I would appreciate that, no rush. I must have one, it can go with the rest of the "must haves" that I never have used. (fuse puller, wheel stud remover, radio removal tool, dust cap tool from a Vectra)

What you need is this:



Looking at the seat (ie looking towards the back of the car) insert the sqaure end of the bar into the motor on the right hand side.

Turn it clockwise to bring the seat forward, and anti-clock to push it back. It will move very very slowly, takes about 50 turns to bring it about an inch! But fix on one point of the seat and you will see it slowly moving...
